An original novel based on the explosive new TV series Star Trek: Discovery!

Despite being an inexperienced Starfleet cadet, Sylvia Tilly became essential to the USS Discovery finding its way back home from the Mirror Universe. But how did she find that courage? From where did she get that steel? Who nurtured that spark of brilliance? The Way to the Stars recounts for fans everywhere the untold story of Tilly’s past.

It’s not easy being 16, especially when everyone expects great things from Tilly. It’s even harder when her mother and father are Federation luminaries, not to mention pressing her to attend one of the best schools the Federation has to offer. Tilly wants to achieve great things - even though she hasn’t quite worked out how to do that or what it is she wants to do. But this year, everything will change for Tilly, as she is about to embark upon the adventure of a lifetime - an adventure that will take her ever closer to the stars....

Tilly was already one of my favorites, this book strengthened that enjoyment of her character.

LOVE IT

January LaVoy is an incredible narrator. She is the best narrator I have ever heard. Story is great for understanding and appreciating Tilly's character on the show. I like Tilly on the show but feel a deeper relationship with the character now. The Captain and Tilley's father were engaging and likable characters, would love to see them on the show, although after season 2 finale that seems unlikely now.

Narrator!

I wasn't sure what to expect after first chapter but I stuck with it and it was a good story and you learn a lot about Tilly. Very good voice performance!

Great voice acting, lovely coming of age story if you want to know how Sylvia Tilly got to Starfleet. It's fun to hear what life is like growing up how she did.

A good background story to explain why Tilly became Tilly in Star Trek Discovery. I gave the story 3 stars because it is not really a Star Trek story but rather a teenager-find-herself story. I skipped several chapters that had nothing to do with the stars. Other parts were still fun to listen.

A teenager run away story

Featuring the one mother in the entire Federation who can make Lwaxana Troi look reasonable, calm, and collected. What a fun jaunt into one of my favorite characters's backstory.

What a sweet origin story

This is a must listen if you are at all interested in what makes Tilly, well, Tilly. Her life before Starfleet, her mother, and what she endured before finding her true calling in life. In other words, her tribe. Wonderfully written and read this is now a favorite of mine.

To Know Tilly, Listen to this Book!
